Heck, it’s apparent just from looking at the SC waveform.
FWIW this is the mix style that we always like.

Excellent group of BiaB session guys.
Seven BiaB tracks exceeds our mix pay grade

Add to the above your nice instrumental and vocal performances.
It was interesting to read about your vocal arrangement.
Seems like that would take the patience of Job
Thanks J&B. Fortunately, the 7 tracks did not occur simultaneously so not too much hardship to find space for everything. I’m not sure how technically correct my approach is, but I listen to the frequency range of each instrument and the busyness/rhythmic feel of each and try to not have the same occupying the same space. This is with bass and drums centred of course. Regarding BVs, my logic is that closer to the mic enhances lower frequencies, so further away would have less bottom and more top - therefore EQ-ing out some lower end and taking up some left and/or right space. Since joining the forums, I’ve learned about LUFS and limiting, and Guitarhacker put me on to one of Bobby Owsinski’s books.
This forum is marvellous and generous for people sharing their knowledge, advice and support.
Thanks for listening!

It's a really great sounding track that is worthy of many listens!
Thanks Torrey! Mission accomplished then!

Thanks John! If there is one drive in my songwriting, it is to have a good chord progression with the occasional surprise, as the basis for a catchy melody. Lyrics and arrangement come later for me. Words are the thing I have to do in order to give my melody its legs, so vague lyrics are sometimes the result. Thanks for listening!
